Cassidy, whose birth name is Barry Reese, was apprehended in Jersey City last Sunday afternoon after police responded to reports of a parked van emitting a strong odor of weed.

The 35-year old rapper, famous for hit hip-hop songs “I’m a Hustla,” “My Drink n My 2 Step” and “Hotel” was nabbed by police around 4:10 p.m. right in front of his own home. According to the police report, the MC was charged with pot possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Officers say when they approached the vehicle, they found Cassidy reclined in the front seat with a female accomplice in the passenger seat. Officers claim Reese reached under his seat after he spotted the police and was uncompliant when they asked him to stop.

Reese eventually unlocked the door for the officers and a strong cannabis smell was discharged from the car. According to the report, there was also a joint on the center console in plain sight.

After her August 8 bust crossing into North Dakota from Canada, Melissa Etheridge pleads guilty to pot possession. Etheridge’s lawyer submitted the plea on behalf of the rock singer on Tuesday. As per the court’s orders, Etheridge will pay a fine of $750 and serve a one month period of unsupervised probation.

A drug-sniffing dog alerted border officials to what turned out to be joints, hash oil and cannabis topicals in Etheridge’s tour bus. But Etheridge’s celebrity, and her status as a California medical cannabis patient, probably helped her to avoid the maximum penalty in North Dakota.

At this point, it’s hard to know if Willie Nelson is more legendary for his music or for his love of weed. In truth, it’s probably both. But over the past few years, the aging folk music icon has been capitalizing on his status as a cannabis celebrity to market and sell ‘Willie’s Reserve,’ his signature brand of marijuana. And after successful rollouts in other weed-legal states, Willie Nelson’s cannabis products are about to hit California.

We can’t believe the day has come, but the reports all say the same thing: Joe Rogan quits weed. But why? Has this MMA fighter-turned-activist crossed over to the less-green side? Let’s find out what’s going on.

Who Is Joe Rogan?

New Jersey native Joe Rogan is a modern renaissance man. Well, to us he is. He’s a former mixed martial arts champion who retired early due to frequent headaches and a basic sense of self-preservation. After dropping out of the University of Massachusetts Boston, he pursued stand-up comedy. While launching his career, he supported himself in a few different ways including teaching mixed martial arts and driving limousines.

As his comedy career progressed, Rogan relocated to Los Angeles and was able to work as a comedian full time. He also appeared in various television shows and sitcoms. In the late ’90s, he got a gig with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), in which he conducted post-fight interviews.
